No suction with my Hoover Breathe Easy Upright

\015 The roller works and the baf fills up with ait, but I can't get any suction. I can't figure out how to take it apart to check inside if something is blocked either.\015

Answers :

If the bag fills up with air it should be sucking since the air that fills the bag is blowing air into the bag thus the dust gets carried along with it. However it should be easy to inspect the hose by taking it off by either removing screws *dont lose them, by the way! And looking at the dust channel after the beater bar. Either way something is clogged if the dust bag is filling up with air. Also check that the filter underneath the bag or beside the motor is completely clean.

After using my attachments I have a hard time getting suction when using upright again - how do I get the suction on my upright? It's a Hoover blue widepath Tempo~ thank you

Water/carpet cleaner applying o.k. Suction on the "floor" does not work. Suction on the hand tool works somewhat, but water is not collecting in the bucket. There is suction coming from the floor but water is not going into the bucket. It does not appear to be clogged because I can feel with my hand that air is flowing from the floor. The water is not being sucked into the bucket.

The real clue seems to be the brush is not turning, a bad belt is possible or a blockage at that head, if you cannot get the brush moving the rest does not matter. ...

Sometimes there is a physical switch to move the air ducts that connect to the suction motor. I'm not sure about your model, but here's what I would do. First, read the manual and instructions thoroughly, to see if there's some switch to activat ...

My vax power 8, 2200 watts 300 air watts 4L capacity upright Hoover is brand new, I emptied out the dust/dirt collecter and cleaned the motor filter yesterday for the first time, i switched it on and all fine, the brush is spinning and the hose is sucking, put the Hoover to work it's fine for about 30 seconds then then suction stops and its dead it won't collect no more, so switched off taken apart again and the motor filter is blocked and full of dust, so I unblocked it, do the same process aga

I had the same problem. It looks like the seal on the lid on the bottom of the cylinder has fallen out when it was emptied. There is no longer a proper vacuum being created so you don't get the cyclone effect and the dirt doesn't collect where its su ...
